Ernesto came to my house all the way from Merced to repair a sump pump that I thought was broken and I thought needed to be replaced. He said I did not need one. He inspected it and gave me that recommendation. Now that's a first I've had a recommendation where somebody was not trying to upsell or hustle me.. I took him underneath the house he climbed under and gave me some tips on what I'm supposed to do to call a handyman for a very small job and not a plumber to fix some rubber hose down there. because it will be too expensive if I used a plumber. If ever anyone needs a sump pump repair or installation this is the guy. Honest And very knowledgeable. He knows his stuff. Thank you Ernesto.!

Our contractor recommended Ernesto to install a moisture barrier under our house. We are very satisfied with the workmanship. He's An expert with everything related to crawl space. He provided several suggestions to prevent future water damage, broken pipes and animal infestation. He identified problems we never knew about and recommended the appropriate steps that we should take. I never knew we had a massive void under our garage floor until he found it and suggested we fill it. I highly recommend using him. I wasn't home when his crew did all the work, but I'm still so amazed by how quickly they finished the job in such little space.

E-mora Construction was excellent to work with! In both quality of work and communication with the staff and team. I have had water entry in the basement since we purchased the house. The team came in and implemented a basement drainage, moisture barrier, and improved sump pump configuration. We're several rains into this season and the basement is dry! Thank you Ernesto and team! I'd also like to add that they were flexible as well. I had a piece in which I wanted to pour fresh concrete to improve stability, and he was willing to pause the job and come back later so that I could have a more robust basement solution. Highly recommend!

I called Ernesto asking for a quote for fixing foundation problems of a potential home purchase. Ernesto was very generous with his time and walked me through the whole process. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and families.

We hired E Mora's services to seal our crawlspace after it got flooded during last year's heavy rains. Their crew is booked months in advance. However the wait was worth it. We are happy with the service and our crawlspace is transformed from a stale and dusty space to clean and sealed.
They charge for the initial inspection but it is worth it as Ernesto saw a couple of unrelated issues with our plumbing and informed us. After the work was done he walked me through how to maintain the sump pump. Ernesto is one of those rare guys who will exceed your expectations. Recommended without any hesitation.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Shivendra S.San Mateo, CA62213Nov 19, 2022
Excellent work! Ernesto is genuine and his crew was very professional. While other companies tried to scare and fleece us, Ernesto shared with us what was really needed and what was marketing gimmick.
Really appreciate the great work, Ernesto and team! We highly recommend you to anyone looking for crawlspace work.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Marc L.Los Altos, CA512Dec 29, 2023

Ernesto from E-Mora Construction did a excellent job installing sump pumps in my crawl space. They are full automatic, including battery backup. I can see their status on my phone and I get an email if there is any problem with them. A terrific job done on time and at a competitive price.

Really good service, quality work and very responsive. They really cleaned up our crawl space and made it so much more pleasant. Replaced sump pump, and provided periodic inspections. Really useful during all the storms this year.

Really glad that I had Ernesto and his team come out to waterproof our crawlspace.
Problem we had:
Our area has a high water table. When we first moved in, we noticed taht even with a slight rain, there would be an inch of water covering the entire crawlspace. We were living on a lake.
Estimate:
Ernesto came out to do an estimate. Compared with others we asked, he was more thorough and went through the entire crawlspace area that the competitor's hadn't checked.
I really appreciated that he was able to show us photos of what was going on under the house. He showed us the residual lines left by water in all corners of the house. It's tough work belly crawling through a concrete crawlspace!
Proposal:
Ernesto was able to price match other estimates we had gotten from competitors. We ended up getting 3 sump pumps and thicker plastic covering. He showed us a schematic of how he was going to place the sump pumps strategically to drain low areas in the crawlspace and also how he was going to tie all the sump pumps to an existing french drain going into the street
Project:
The team did their work within a week. Ernesto was communicative through the entire process and easy to reach.
His team doesn't do electrical work, so we hired their recommended electrician who was also very thorough in their work as well.
Result:
Ernesto stands by his work. You get a signed 5 year warranty for the workmanship.
Now that the rains have come, looking into the crawlspace, it's nice and dry.
Also, when one of the sump pump water level alarms went off, Ernesto was able to diagnose the problem quickly.
Very happy with the results!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
